The Goodyear Cotton Bowl: #9 Missouri (10-2) vs #7 Ohio State (11-1) (8PM ET, ESPN)

I'm actually of the exact opposite opinion when it comes to Cook and Schraeder. I think Cook is a below average QB who is a mediocre passer. I think Schraeder is decent but is more of a fighter than being purely talented. I think Drinks scheme tremendously helped both players thrive. Many times Schraeder doesn't have anyone touching him until 3 yards past the LOS. With better talent I think Mizzou's offense has plenty of room to be better.

I agree with your assessment. I see both players finding holes to run through because they’re patient and decisive. I compare that to Joe Milton who can run like a freight train but seems to stumble into the only guy who could make a tackle on him. Maybe I should have said they have good spacial awareness.

Cook can’t find anyone to throw to. He gets sacked like once a series.

Cook is a Great Value brand Hendon Hooker

Anyone else notice Dirk can’t close his mouth? Just hangs open and he postures it differently lol

Yes and it’s weird af

 

[Boston Vol]

Why did Scharder do that?

Amazing what serviceable LBs and great can do for you.

 

[wmcovol]

Robert R Neyland would be proud. Both teams are running single wing offenses

 

[Proud Army Wife]

This game is underperforming my expectations.

He doesn’t have much time to, and receivers aren’t open much anyway

Where is this officiating crew from? great call

 

[adam.vol]

Trying to understand: are you saying that at 10-2 they should be ranked behind 3-loss teams like Arizona and (at-the-time-3-losses) Louisville?

No. I wasn’t comparing them to the poll rankings. My threshold is where I think they would land if every team had to play every other team. In that case, they should finish among the top 15 best records.

I hate the poll rankings because conferences and schedules are not even. Polls primarily use losses as the foundation for where a team should be ranked, even though the opponents are not remotely even.

I hope that makes sense to you. It does to me, but I’m not much of a writer.

Big 12 referee crew.

Best bowl game I’ve watched this far IMO.

 

[Boston Vol]

Jesus what an awful penalty to take

 

[TrueOrange]

Good job Missouri. Punt on the 1? Nah let’s get a personal foul after the whistle like a child.

 

[DC_Vol]

Such a weak flag

 

[RDU VOL#14]

That’s pretty weak

 

[amaralfan1]

OSU got seriously bailed out... second time in the first half.

 

[TrueOrange]

Honestly, Ohio State should consider chucking one deep here.

 

[DowsaTV]

Missouri is such a trash program.

 

[davethevol]

Mizzu got flagged because a player talked trash after getting punched in the head by the Ohio State player. That’s bs.

 

[TrueOrange]

That’s pretty weak

They just broke them up the play before. You’re going to get called for shoving him again when they play’s dead on the immediate next play.

Several crappy calls against Mizo IMHO.

Thought it was shoving him. They just broke up the two shoving the play before.
